Share your drawing and quantity. We can review the machining route with you.
Material selection
The grade is part of the manufacturing plan.
Explore our aluminium library for grade information and material comparisons. Include the alloy, temper and applicable specification when you send your drawing.
Explore materialsSurface finishing
Plan the finish around fit and function.
Define the appearance, coating and functional surfaces your part needs. Identify threads, bores, mating faces and areas to mask so the finished dimensions can be reviewed together.
Explore finishingTechnical requirements
Agree the details before machining.
Machining capacity depends on the part geometry, material and chosen route. Share the requirements below so we can review suitability for your project.
- Equipment & part envelope
- Machine selection, workholding and part envelope are reviewed against your CAD model and drawing.
- Dimensions & tolerances
- Identify critical dimensions, datums, fits and geometric tolerances. Acceptance criteria are agreed for the specific component.
- Quantities & delivery
- Include prototype and production quantities, repeat-order requirements and your target delivery date.
- Inspection & documentation
- Specify the features to inspect and any material records, dimensional reports or other documentation required with delivery.
Quality & documentation
Make the acceptance criteria clear.
Drawing revision, material condition, surface requirements and inspection scope belong in one agreed specification. Tell us which records your project requires before manufacture.
- Confirm the drawing revision
- Identify the critical features
- Agree inspection and documentation
Project documentation
Define what should accompany your parts.
Specify the features to inspect and any material records, dimensional reports or other documentation required with delivery.
